I submitted app mid-October and just realized that it was not complete because i was registered for Dec. LSAT.

I just requested to have my file reviewed. :(

Hope to hear back soon!

In via phone call about an hour ago!!! Okay wow, an admission over the phone is such a bigger rush than seeing an email for some reason. I can hardly remember the conversation because I think I blacked out as soon as I saw Berkeley CA on the caller ID. I AM PUMPED AND ABOUT TO GO DRINK HEAVILY.

Stats in profile, submitted back in September :)

Submitted 9/7, complete since 10/3, above both 75ths, wrote a Why Berkeley, and haven’t heard anything yet :( Did not receive the committee review email. I’m going insane from the waiting!!!

Also applying from abroad — wondering if that might be part of the reason for the delay, since they probably won’t call me. Anyone else in from abroad? If so, how did they notify you?

did everyone submit a separate resume for Berkeley? I just noticed the instructions to list hours/week for jobs and extracurriculars and I just sent my normal resume.. Thoughts?

I'm applying from abroad, but I have a phone plan that lets me receive US calls for free, so they still called. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear something soon with those stats!

If you haven't received a call, do not despair! I think they're doing them in waves over the next few days/weeks- I think a couple of people are admitted every day. E-mails about admits are coming Monday. I think they just do their calls in a steady trickle...

if I sent in my app over a month ago would it help or hurt to re-send a resume that lists hours per week for each activity and job? That is the only detail missing. Don't want to seem disorganized but also don't want to draw attention to this oversight if it isn't a dealbreaker. Thanks!

I, too, registered for the December LSAT well after submitting my app. Does your status checker still have a check mark next to LSAT score?

pssst...some movement on the status checker for ED applicants!

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
